Day 3 for Nogal's new life. He is a particularly smart Goat.
in the late day feeding, there is an appetizer of pellets before the hay. there is much competition for every single pellet. and Nogal has discovered that the most Sure and Peaceful place at the Bowl is directly under Gideon's head. all of the pushing and shoving goes on above. under Gideon's head, there are many pellets.
and LOOK. Arrived. Beyond what i'd imagined. and perfect for this Time of Purposlessness.
and this morning i had a thought
i think i am going to go about the Experiment of Purposelessness from a different direction. i sat long, looking at this photograph of an unknown old woman this morning before dawn. into the dawn. and then on into the beginning of the day. Just looking. and it occurred to me that maybe if i imagined her life, the life that at 20 something i knew i wanted, maybe i would know more about the direction i would like to go.
so in the initial part of the Experiment, i am going to begin imagining/visualizing Her. Her world. actually, her Diorama. where she lives. what she "has". what she does. How she lives. if it goes well, i will "ask" her. Back in the day when i studied Intensive Journal Process, i did a lot of this.
It's been years. a different lifetime, really. but i wonder if i remember how. and i wonder if i can "find" Her.
